Why Bamboo

The planet is in a climate crisis, so reducing the environmental impact of our products is crucial.

We’re growing our line of bamboo products to include more easels and carts! These products are a more sustainable choice than metal models because they have a smaller carbon footprint. Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly and absorbs carbon, unlike steel which produces carbon.

Giving Back For every bamboo product purchased, Copernicus will make a donation to conserve natural panda habitat through the World Wildlife Fund.

ENVIRONMENTALIMPACT

Manufacturing this bamboo easel produces 38% less carbon than traditional alternatives.

Alex, our Social and Environmental Responsibility Coordinator recently completed a study of how much carbon our popular Bamboo Teaching Easel (see page 12) produced compared to our Royal Reading Writing Center (see page 14).

The results:

Our Bamboo Teaching Easel produced 38% less carbon than our metal model (that’s the equivalent of driving a gas-powered car 91 miles/147 km).
